Forward
from WIG's 'Cross - sector Collaboration at Work' Roadmap
For leaders across the UK, regardless of sector, dealing with uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity are part and parcel of their roles. Yet, with ever increasing interconnected and complex challenges facing our society and economy, trying to find solutions can seem daunting and overwhelming.
Cross-sector collaboration - an approach to working across public, private and not-for-profit sectors for the common good - can help to address the biggest challenges of our time. Many forward-thinking leaders recognise this, but few feel enabled to pursue it in the face of low levels of trust, misaligned objectives and poor communication between sectors. Over the next five years, WIG wants to address these challenges and support more leaders to better collaborate across sectors.
And the time is right, with a new UK government advocating cross-sector partnerships as vital to delivering on its key growth mission. WIG will work with its members to focus on three core enablers to support leaders to improve cross- sector collaboration for national prosperity
- Increasing opportunities for cross-sector strategic dialogue
- Enhancing cross-sector leadership capabilities - for today’s and tomorrow’s leaders
- Evidencing what works in cross-sector collaboration
With 40 years’ experience in connecting leaders across the sectors, WIG is uniquely placed to support forward-thinking leaders to help deliver the national growth that will support communities across the UK to prosper.
